"Le fendeur de bois" is a pen and ink drawing by the French artist Jean-François Millet. The drawing depicts a man in the act of chopping wood, a common theme in Millet's oeuvre. The figure is rendered with a sense of realism and naturalism, highlighting the physicality of manual labor. Millet's work often focused on the lives of rural workers, and "Le fendeur de bois" is an excellent example of his artistic interest in depicting everyday life in the countryside. It is currently located in the Städel Museum.
